Rebecca Morin USA TODAY Published 8:33 AM EDT Aug 28, 2019 WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Wednesday mocked New York Times columnist Bret Stephens for his reaction of being called a bedbug. In a tweet, Trump called him Stephens a "lightweight journalist" and "a Conservative who does anything that his bosses at the paper tell him to do!," before adding, "He is now quitting Twitter after being called a 'bedbug,' Tough guy!" Trump's comments comes after a controversy that started on Monday. George Washington University associate professor David Karpf joked on Twitter that Stephens was a bedbug after reports that there was a bedbug infestation in the New York Times newsroom. Stephens, in an email, scolded Karpf for his comment and copied the provost at the professor's university. The exchange went viral after Karpf posted a screenshot of the full email to Twitter. “I’m often amazed about the things supposedly decent people are … [Read more...] about Trump mocks New York Times’ Bret Stephens for bedbug reaction

Nicholas Wu USA TODAY Published 1:00 PM EDT Aug 19, 2019 WASHINGTON – Appearing on "Fox and Friends" on Monday morning, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that The New York Times' 1619 Project was "a lie." The 1619 Project is an effort by the Times to commemorate the 400th anniversary of slavery's beginning in America. The 1619 Project aims to "reframe the country's history, "reframe the country’s history, [understand] 1619 as our true founding, and [place] the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are." Gingrich disagreed with the 1619 Project's interpretation of history, which included essays by New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones, Princeton University sociologist Matthew Desmond, and Harvard University professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad. "The whole project is a lie," Gingrich said. "Look, I think slavery is a terrible thing. I think putting … [Read more...] about Newt Gingrich calls the New York Times’ 1619 Project ‘a lie’

Jordan Culver USA TODAY Published 12:10 AM EDT Aug 6, 2019 A photo of the front page of Tuesday's New York Times sparked immediate criticism on Monday night – including from several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. The headline read, "Trump urges unity vs. racism." It comes after President Donald Trump addressed the nation following mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, that killed nine and 22 people, respectively. The headline didn't sit well with a number of Democrats. "Let this front page serve as a reminder of how white supremacy is aided by – and often relies upon – the cowardice of mainstream institutions," tweeted Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who told CNN over the weekend that Trump was "responsible for this," said via Twitter: "Lives literally depend on you doing better, NYT. "Please do." Fellow Democratic presidential candidates Kirsten Gillibrand and Beto O'Rourke … [Read more...] about New York Times faces criticism for Donald Trump speech headline

Douglas Murray 28 June 2019 7:44 AM 28 June 2019 7:44 AM Share Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Whatsapp The New York Times’s strange jihad against post-Brexit Britain continues. Some readers may have missed the paper’s insistence that having only just finished eating mutton, the British public are currently stock-piling food and all but preparing to start eating each other (see here, here, and here just for starters). But yesterday they have returned to the fray with the international edition of the paper carrying a front-page piece declaring ‘Extremists hijacked UK politics’. The online version of the story is headlined ‘A fanatical sect has hijacked British politics’. The author of the piece is someone called William Davies, who we are informed (in fact in the circumstances we really do need to be informed of this) is a ‘sociologist who writes about politics’. It is he who the … [Read more...] about Are Tories fanatics? The New York Times thinks so

Since Jacinda Ardern was elected Prime Minister in 2017, Brits and Americans have openly expressed jealousy of New Zealand's leadership. But a writer for the New York Times says their fascination is naive and politically misguided. London-based journalist Stephen Buranyi penned an opinion piece for the newspaper's Monday edition titled 'Jacinda Ardern won't save you'. While discussing the political "disaster" of Brexit, Buryani says the UK media and much of the public has taken to fantasising about a "competent foreign leader" taking over from unpopular Prime Minister Theresa May. Jacinda Ardern voted Australia's most trusted politician Fortune magazine names Ardern world's second best leader Poll reveals Jacinda Ardern is more popular than ever Their preferred candidate is Ardern, with op-eds in The Guardian, The Mirror and even conservative newspaper the Scottish Sun expressing a desire for her to be brought in as a "living, smiling antidote" to the current leader.
